Kathy Marie Hoffman, 66, left us suddenly on December 14, 2022, at her home in Brainerd. Kathy was born in Minneapolis on April 18, 1956, to Kurt and Donna (Mielke) Hoffman. When she was three years old, Kathy’s family moved to Outing. She graduated from Northland High School in Remer, 1974.

She is survived by her son, Christian (Tonie) Hoffman Thunder Bird, and two brothers: Kurt Hoffman III (Richard Omann) of Outing, and David Hoffman of Sartell, as well as six nieces, nine cousins, and countless friends. She had a positive effect on everyone she met, regardless of how brief the meeting.
